To ZZ whom it may concern): 'Be it known that I, ARTHUR WILSON, a citizen of. the United States, residing at Berlin, in the county of Green Lake and State of teries from which the current for the lamp is derived. Superposed upon and secured to said receptacle is a smaller one in which the lamp and about six feet of connecting-wire may ,be stowed when not in use. Said u per receptacle is preferably provided wit a 6c hinged cover provided with fastening means. Connections are made from the batteries to two binding-posts reaching up through the top of the lower receptacle into the upper receptacle, and to these binding-posts the connecting-Wire to the lamp is connected. Connections are also made from the batteries to two other binding-posts arranged outside of the upper receptacle, so that the current from he batteries may be utilized for other 7o purposes than the lamp. Referring more particularly to the drawings, l is the lower receptacle, holdingthe 1 batteries 2, and 3 is the upper receptacle, pro- 'vided with the hinged cover 4 and fastening device '5. -The batteries are connected ,to-' gether and by wires 6 to the binding-posts 7, arrangediin the upper receptacle and to x which the long wires 8 are secured. The lamp9, preferably a three-candle-power bulb, 8c is attached tothe other ends ofthe wire 8, which enables it to be carried away from the box and brought into proximity to the parts 'it is desired to llluminate'. Othercorinectingwires 10 runfrom thebatteries to the binding posts 11,-arranged outside of the upper receptacle-or casin Thus theappliance has the double use of a portable lamp and aportablebatterywhich can be used for many purposes in an emergency. 9o Having thus described my invention, ,l. what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

My invention relates to improvements in portable electricrlamp outfits.

It. has for its object to 'rovide a light, compact, and easily-movab e outfit of this nature particularly-adapted for use in-making repairs to automobiles and gasolenelaunches" while they are en route; but it is also found to be a valuable appliance wherever light is wanted and there ls dange r of an explosion or fire resulting from contact with an un rotected flame. The appliance is also usefu in-another Way in connection with automobiles and launches in that should the source 25 cirthe current for the sparker fail the battery in the lamp outfitcan be immediately substi tuted,'bindingposts for this purpose being attached .to the outfit. ,The inyention 7 consists in the features of construction and combinations of arts hereinafter described,and moreparticul rlypointed out in the claims concluding this specification. 7 In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment 9f my invention, Figure l is a front view of the receptacle con-- taining the batteries and lamp closed. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof with the lid raised and the lamp and part of the wire removed, and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view ofthe appa-l ratus as shown in Fig. l. y t le the referred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and its construction and o eratlon' are described in specification, t e right is reserved'to make such changes from the construction shown and: described her'em as the scope of the claims hereto appended will permit. y

In carrying .out the invention 1 provides a receptacle or casing of suitable material,- such. as oak, and of convenient dimensions,

reierably about seven inches by six inches y five inches, inwhich are arranged the bat cle, superposed upon the first receptacle, an electric lamp, flexible electric connectlons between said batteries and lamp extending r ce through'the upper receptacle and adapted to bestowed, together with said lamp,-in said upper receptacle, and means of electric connection with; said batteries arranged without said upper receptacle.
